ive got one on a Kimber Adirondak in 308.. super lightweight rifle (less than 6lbs loaded with the optic mounted).. its got more recoil than my 300 H&H...
probably 200 rounds through the Adirondak at this point.. no issues with the swaro at all..
its been to Africa.. hunted all over TX... and will be making a trip to chase elk in Idaho later this year.. I trust it completely..

Mine is a Z3 3-10x42 and has been on a couple of different rifles. It currently lives on a 308 bolt action practice rifle and has held up well for ~3k rounds in total.

Should be no problems. I have a Z3 3-9x36 on 5 pound Kimber in 300 WSM.

About Lon's Elephant hunts w/Tokoloshe? I hear Lon is battling cancer? What is his long term prognosis? I am already booked to hunt Africa in 2024 2025. Might consider 2026 for another African hunt. I want to hunt a more wild open region devoid of civilization. Concern is the risk that I book f/2026 then find poor Lon has passed on? Does Lon have any assistance to carry on the business in his absence?
